Dear Andrew, When you want help, listen to those providing it.
I said "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" - not dbi-dev. However, given the volume of output, maybe it is just as well. Fewer people got the overload of email. We needed to know what the error was -- we can't guess at what your trouble was. But we really didn't need each of the test lines.

Thanks for the Perl -V output... When you get to the relevant places, you find that the problem is in the t*_85gofer.t tests - and looks like: t/zvp_85gofer.............ok 78/0Error thawing: panic: realloc, at /var/tmp/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605/blib/lib/DBI/Gofer/Serializer/Storable.pm line 56 (data='GoFER1:....DBI::Gofer::Response.................'), pid 14288 stack trace follows: at /var/tmp/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605/blib/lib/DBI/Gofer/Transport/Base.pm line 98 DBI::Gofer::Transport::Base::_thaw_data('DBD::Gofer::Transport::pipeone=HASH(0x139aae0)','GoFER1:\x{5}\x{6}\x{11}\x{14}DBI::Gofer::Response\x{3}\x{0}\x{0}\x{0}\x{8}\x{4}\x{2}\x{0}\x{0}\x{0}\x{1}\x{8}\x{c2}\x{81}\x{0}\x{0}\x{0}\x{2}rv\x{5}\x{0}\x{0}\x{0}\x{6}errst...') called at /var/tmp/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605/blib/lib/DBD/Gofer/Transport/ pipeone.pm line 194 DBD::Gofer::Transport::pipeone::receive_response_by_transport('DBD::Gofer::Transport::pipeone=HASH(0x139aae0)','DBI::Gofer::Request=HASH(0x139b980)') called at /var/tmp/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605/blib/lib/DBD/Gofer/Transport/Base.pm line 141 eval {...} called at /var/tmp/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605/blib/lib/DBD/Gofer/Transport/Base.pm line 139 DBD::Gofer::Transport::Base::__ANON__() called at /var/tmp/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605/blib/lib/DBD/Gofer/Transport/Base.pm line 155 DBD::Gofer::Transport::Base::receive_response('DBD::Gofer::Transport::pipeone=HASH(0x139aae0)','DBI::Gofer::Request=HASH(0x139b980)','CODE(0x139ba70)') called at /var/tmp/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605/blib/lib/DBD/Gofer.pm line 295 DBD::Gofer::db::go_dbh_method('DBI::db=HASH(0x139b790)','undef','ping') called at DBI::PurePerl DBI::db::go_dbh_method line 42 DBI::__ANON__('DBI::db=HASH(0x1386610)','undef','ping') called at /var/tmp/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605/blib/lib/DBD/Gofer.pm line 238 DBD::Gofer::dr::connect('DBI::dr=HASH(0x8f2760)','transport=pipeone;policy=pedantic;perl=/usr/bin/perl -Mblib=...','undef','undef','HASH(0x13873a0)') called at DBI::PurePerl DBI::dr::connect line 48 DBI::__ANON__('DBI::dr=HASH(0x8749e0)','transport=pipeone;policy=pedantic;perl=/usr/bin/perl -Mblib=...','undef','undef','HASH(0x13873a0)') called at /var/tmp/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605/blib/lib/DBI.pm line 638 DBI::__ANON__('undef','undef') called at /var/tmp/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605/blib/lib/DBI.pm line 706 DBI::connect('DBI','dbi:Gofer:transport=pipeone;policy=pedantic;perl=/usr/bin/per...','undef','undef','HASH(0x13787c0)') called at ./t/85gofer.t line 145 main::run_tests('pipeone','HASH(0x7755f0)','pedantic') called at ./t/85gofer.t line 103 eval {...} called at ./t/85gofer.t line 103 require ./t/85gofer.t called at t/zvp_85gofer.t line 3 # Failed test 'pipeone: DBI connect('transport=pipeone;policy=pedantic;perl=/usr/bin/perl -Mblib=/var/tmp/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605/blib;timeout=60;dsn=dbi:DBM:dbm_type=SDBM_File;lockfile=0','',...) failed: Error thawing: panic: realloc, at /var/tmp/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605/blib/lib/DBI/Gofer/Serializer/Storable.pm line 56 (data='GoFER1:....DBI::Gofer::Response.................') at /var/tmp/.cpan/build/DBI-1.605/blib/lib/DBI/Gofer/Transport/Base.pm line 99. at ./t/85gofer.t line 145 # ' # at ./t/85gofer.t line 104. There's a memory management problem - clearly. Equally, I am far from convinced anyone is going to be interested in debugging this problem for an archaic version of Perl (especially since the problem almost certainly does not reproduce in the current version. My strong recommendation would be to upgrade to Perl 5.10.0; failing that, upgrade to 5.8.8. You may get lucky and someone may be prepared to help with your actual configuration, but I have serious doubts. -- Jonathan Leffler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix - v2008.0513 - http://dbi.perl.org "Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused."
